Start-up Nation

In Start-Up Nation, authors and foreign policy insiders Dan Senor and Saul Singer examine the meteoric rise of Israel and its start-up culture, which is responsible for more tech start-ups than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK. Despite shortages of natural resources and being surrounded by enemies, Israel has transformed itself into an economic powerhouse over the last 60 years thanks to a culture of innovation which has been promoted by government policies focused on fostering growth in key industries. For anyone interested in how a small country can succeed against enormous odds, Start-Up Nation offers insight into the many factors that go into encouraging entrepreneurial spirit.
